yah sorry luk3us... that's kind of abandoned... why make it in flash if i can make proper games? i'mma in the process of messing with 3Ds Max 9 so yah... x3; i'll probably end up making a steam mod or something. maybe a real game later on

hokie, this sprung up as a random little idea in another thread in general discussion. i was gonna post this thread there but i figured it would get moved here so i decided to jump ahead a little o.o
dunno if anyone's tried it in the past, but it would be good to have an updated one...
basically i'm gonna draw a bigass picture with all the main forum posters in it o-o
as i said previously, i've tried this before and it half worked. it just took a -long- time and things kinda messed up before i got around to finishing it :\
so y'know, go ahead and post if you want to feature in the picture... give me a reference pic or a -detailed- description of how you want to appear, as well as describing to me what you want to be doing in the picture. also note i'm going to be posting the picture updates here as i go along, so try to avoid asking for rude requests (though if you want them i'll draw them... but in the version of the drawing uploaded online any questionable bits will be censored XD if you're that desperate for nakidness i could e-mail you the uncensored version or whatever. also i'd be happy to try and draw any requests that pop up, assuming i'm not gonna be totally bugged down with a flood of people wanting in on this xD (see, each character i draw on an A4 sheet of paper, scan it then edit it into the picture and colour... lots of work, lots of detail...) and although i haven't drawn in a little while my skills have definately improved compared to a lot of my old stuff. though i'll be honest, my artwork isn't as amazing as the pictures that azrael has uploaded ._. but y'know, it'll be half decent and hopefully entertaining enough... i'd be greatful if a mod would make a topic in say, general discussion or whatever to guide people to this topic so i get more then one or two people posting n_n;
as i said before, i don't mind drawing whatever people wanna see (either in the big pic or in seperate requests) but just remember i'm not the -best- artist in the world... so don't get irritated if the picture doesn't turn out as your mind imagined it >.>
but y'know i'd love to receive private requests too ^-^ i never know what to draw myself so having people suggest things to me would be fun. and just remember who you're requesting from: i'm a pansexual nymphomaniac who is an anime, sci-fi and horror fan... so don't be afraid to ask for stuff no matter how trippy or weird it is. chances are i've seen worse online or RP'd worse with various partners (or maybe even done worse in real life o_O; i've got a pretty dank history X3;; )
so yah... get posting those comments! i can't wait to get started ^o^

yeyeye! good people :3
i'll spring my little idea to light now, see what you all think. see, since i started this games programming college course i've been completely obsessed with anything involving it. been messing about with DarkBASIC Pro a lot, as well as AC3D. been trying to make some models for use in a game or mod later on. then it occurs to me, "why not make everyone in 3D?"
this is something that is quickly becoming a real possibility. my only problem at current is skinning and animating said models (which i'm in the process of sorting out) so y'know. i could end up doing these figures as HL2/gmod ragdoll props or something after a lot of work.
really i was thinking though i might have all the people here as background characters (or actual cast!) in the game i'm making. so i'll try to keep updated as this happens y'know... just remember, i'm teaching myself AC3D from scratch so it's gonna take me a while to learn the tricks and become skilled in it, but i'm getting the hang of it alright ^-^
-will update with moar news! (i haven't forgotten you hehe)

okie guys simple fact is i NEED INFO. the more details you can give me, the better i can make this picture. if you -don't- give me enough info you're all gonna end up as generic clones. look at the list of current details i have somewhere further up the page and think what you can add to your character. the more you have, the more unique your character will be ^-^
...unless you all wanna end up looking like pixies like luk3us did xD

yey ^^ well i'll try and either sketch out another person, or colour your's... depending on what i feel i have the energy for x3;
but y'know. it's a start anyhow! :3 hopefully i will end up finishing this picture before i turn 30.
...
actually let's just say "i hope i end up finishing this picture" that way i have a longer deadline
also, i remember a few years ago me and an online friend decided to make a star wars/aliens crossover manga. of course i was a much worse artist then this (not that i'm good anyhow) and i was trying to do it in photoshop. the downside is that whilst i was doing the artwork, he was doing the written stuff. the plot, the script, the character descriptions and so on. and his laptop broke after about a week. by the time everything was fixed he grew bored of it. though i would like to see such a manga happen, methinks it's gonna need a tad more improvement :\
that said, a wars or trek crossover against aliens is definately something i want to do. methinks i'll find some people who i constantly talk to and who have as high knowledge in those subjects as me, then it will happen! :3
i know i know. i'm going off on another tangent when i've only just started this project. but the thing is i need to multi-task. that way i'm always in the mood for -something- i'm doing... i'll try to keep up work on the CNCNZ pic though x3

hokie! like i said, i have been working just be it slowly. tonight was one of the few nights that nothing much was happening. digitalelysium.com, the site most of my D&D party used for storing their character sheets, has mysteriously gone down without any reason why. thus no D&D. my boytoy is also gone for the weekend... aaand nothing has been on tv. so yah, i didn't have much done previously but earlier tonight (this morning?) i sat down and pencilled out luk3us's character...
though to be honest it's probably all you will get out of me for tonight seeing as so far i've been up over 36 hours without sleep and i'm hallucinating. anyhow here's the sketch:
just take into account this is the first time i've drawn anything in over a year... i know there is some sizing difference in body limbs and such, the majority of it is meant to be like that (left leg being forward, closer to the camera whereas the right leg is outwards further away) but once again you guys haven't given me enough description so i've had to work with what i had. i'm sure luk3us doesn't actually look that much like a pixie in real life XD
so yah. gimmie more details for you all, and any -CONSTRUCTIVE- critism (how can i make the picture kickass if you just say it sucks?) and hopefully the full picture full be in colour. i don't know why but if you leave me alone with a pencil outline for more then a couple of minutes i end up shading everything. makes it look real pretty but it's horrible to work with when converting into colour ._.

problem is i don't like having it left -too- open... but whatever. once again i'm gonna do some work on it. if (when!) i finish a character's line art and scan it, i'll upload it here before colouring so you can see any progress. what i'm gonna do is draw each character by themselves and bung them all into one big pile in photoshop :3 i -could- draw them all in one big go but it would be impossible to do on A4 paper :\
i'll try and do this as often as i can. but y'know... i'm in the middle of a D&D 3.5e campaign online which lasts upwards of 5 hours a night, plus maintaining a presence on L4D... plus half a dozen books, 8 graphic novels, over 20 dvds, half a dozen games and additional artwork projects. i know all that seems pretty trivial but with all those things to distract me (tv also!) they tend to draw me away from artwork.
if you wanna get me to do more work on the picture, give me more information on characters. cos that will have more of a guilt-trip effect on me then people just saying "c'mon! when are you gonna do it?"

o.o i only just noticed the store and topic. i have a few suggestions... (most, if not all, i will buy)
a poloneck (not turtleneck, poloneck. as in a full neck that folds over)
underwear (oh come on. you knew it would happen :3)
aaaand maybe something like an arm band...
some alternate hats (i'd guess like a beanie type thing, or a military officer's type hat which would PWN. but unless it had cat ears on it i probably wouldn't buy that personally, but i'd guess a lot of members would probably choose a beanie over a baseball cap... but i'd buy and wear the officer's hat)
aaaand going at a stretch you could get some kind of clothing item with little boxes on it. then make little game badges (though i'd guess the latter would get you in copyright problems. it would be cool though. the idea is you stick on a badge if you own the game... heck, it could extent right out to a shirt that has "achievement" boxes a'la xbox 360)
though after looking through the cafepress site methinks most of those things wouldn't be possible to do :\ a tad disappointing. if you could ask for custom items to put the logo on... gah. i think i'm gonna have to go creative and make my own things. i've done it before and i'll do it again :3
what this site needs is a mascot. something cute that makes people instantly recognize this place. deviant art did it... then you could get plushies made of it! :3

hokie. i still need more info from the rest of you :\ i started a little work when i last posted but i ended up getting dragged away to do other things. so far all i have is a -very- sketchy couple of lines of luk3us done, just to get the position down right. trying to picture the whole scene and work out every little detail, as well as trying to work out where every little muscle/bone/fat would be on a person without having one of those little wooden dolls or a life figure is a real mindbork.
but y'know i haven't got anything to do right now. not too keen on really drawing this moment but i might as well. got a few hours until mom gets up so i'll see if i can at least get a basic figure drawn, maybe even a whole body ^-^

hmm... i like the ones with lots of extra buttons and functions. but if it's a shaped mouse, it's always right handed. i'm left handed. same deal with those gaming hand keyboard things. always left handed when i need it right handed :\ eh go figure...

hopefully will be getting those walking dead graphic novels later today! hopefully. today is gonna be busy though. have to go to the dentist, then to get the 'novels, then have to be home later cos tonight the online food shopping turns up. chaos!

woah those town photos are slightly scary x3;
and yes, we have a horror channel. at least two actually. (if you are with the satellite tv company Sky)
you have all the standard Sky movie channels (Sky with a genre added to the end like "action" or "comedy")
aaaand then there are the other, more amateur channels. like the horror channel. their company actually expanded a year or so ago so they changed their name to "zone horror" ("zone" being the little link so you can relate the channels. there is also zone reality, zone romantica, zone thriller and probably others...)
then other channels which i'm sure you guys would -love- such as "movies4men" which shows old/bad action flicks and war movies throughout the day, then questionable adult movies at night.
http://tv.sky.com/tvlistings
basically the listing site for all the channels on sky... have a look around. it's worth a laugh. especially since we have a lot of strange channels nowadays... i've noticed a rather large increase in both middle eastern and religious channels (there are about 20 "god" channels o_o; and we did get al jazeera for a while but i can't find it anymore. though there is an al jazeera kids channel...)

yes, there probably are other things that could be done. many cures to be made. but y'know, you're not one of the people it affects. also i doubt that say, a cure for cancer would be made public. companies can make far more money by offering small or partial cures that would keep a patient paying over the course of many years. we may like to think they wouldn't do this but you have to remember the people at the tops of these companies usually get there by being ruthless money-mongers...

...which completely writes off gben's character too =.= ah well whatever. i'm starting with luk3us as at second glance i don't know anything about bioben's body build o.o as default i'm assuming you are all standard builds in that geeky anime male kinda way. so if you have a lil extra pudge for the luffin' or a heavy muscle build or whatever, it would be helpful to know o.o
